First whole-brain recording of social sound processing in a vertebrate. Surprises start in the hindbrain; thalamus gates conspecific calls; male and female brains diverge downstream. Work by @joerghenninger.bsky.social, @mh123.bsky.social sky.social and team. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

An exciting study with Roberto Garza and Armin Bahl

We combine high-throughput behavioral assays in larval zebrafish with drift-diffusion modeling studying integration dynamics across development and a variety of mutants . Give it a read :D
Check this out! Latest collaborative work from my and Mark Fishman's labs - led by Roy Harpaz, with help from Pedro Piquet and Yasuko Isoe (@yasukoisoe.bsky.social)
Have you ever wondered how the brain should represent the sensory world in order to generate behavior? Read our new preprint: work by Shuhong Huang shuhonghuang.bsky.social with our long-standing collaborator James Fitzgerald at Northwestern.
“ok so this is embarrassing but just for the record and just so we have it, your C.V says "Nature Scientific Reports"? sorry to have to even ask”

Excited to share our new preprint! We explore the link between the locus coeruleus (LC) and arousal for astrocytes, pyramidal cells, interneurons in the hippocampus. A fantastic collaboration with @sianduss.bsky.social @bohaceklab.bsky.social, and many others: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/5

fish remaps 180º visual space onto the full neural compass
Instead, fish seemed to remap 180º of the visual space onto the 360º extent of their neural compass, effectively "considering" the two suns as an identical object. This shows the surprising capacity of the HD cells to rapidly pick up the correlation structure of the visual inputs.

Okay, well, I painted some new neurons in burnt sienna and black #sciart
1/n: A new collaborative preprint from the lab to start the year: "A multi-ring shifter network computes head direction in zebrafish" together with Siyuan Mei, Martin Stemmler and Andreas Herz from the LMU, Munich.
Surprise mother$#@%er!
Q: What does this mean for neural systems to understand them?
A: We absolutely need the wiring diagram. All synapses, chemical and electrical.

Interested in the latest advances in neuroscience (neural dynamics and internal models) and how they can be leveraged to build smarter, adaptive AI?

Why friend, you are in luck, because @rgast.bsky.social has just the perspective for you: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Glutamate is the primary molecule that neurons use to communicate with each other.
Previously, scientists have mostly recorded when neurons fire output signals, but now with a new glutamate indicator, they can record the many inputs that causes cells to fire. 🧵

I don't always get pretty, isolated, AND transfected primary neurons in culture, but when I do I take advantage.... Rat hippocampal neuron overexpressing ThymosinB4-mScarlet and imaged for 16hr on a @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social LSM880 with Airyscan. #FluorescenceFriday #Microscopy
Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, et al.
Really enjoyed highlighting this work by @vmsruetten.bsky.social from @mishaahrens.bsky.social lab for preLights. WHOLISTIC! A whole-body functional atlas of cellular dynamics. Lots of cool things in the preprint.
@hhmijanelia.bsky.social @prelights.bsky.social
A paper from my PhD lab is on Science! This is a really cool new way to utilize EM connectome datasets. Congrats to the team!

Check out our newest issue where we interview @juliesemmelhack.bsky.social, who studies the neural circuits of visual behavior at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. www.cell.com/current-biol...
It's finally out! Our paper on optogenetic interrogation of the lateral line: www.cell.com/iscience/ful...
This one involved a lot of sweat and tears, and it was a real tour de force. It was also the last paper we got to write with Jim, so it's a special one (and hence, the tears).
The fun leaving your body the moment you're done with the science and it's time to get it published
Congrats @hannazwaka.bsky.social 🎉
We are very excited: @hannazwaka.bsky.social has been awarded a Leibniz Best Minds grant as a Junior Research Group Leader! Five years of independent research, tenure track and part of the Best Minds network – a real boost for her career.
cool work! @hlavian.bsky.social
